Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southside

The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Huntington. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10. Against average income of $57,000, annual rent is just 18%.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Cabell County average of 3.8 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
